Chic of the Week #268

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful (American) Thanksgiving yesterday and are not too full to get in some creative time this weekend!
I'm back to announce the winner of last week's photo challenge!  But first, thanks to ALL of YOU for the great entries this week!  Your cards are ALL amazingly beautiful and we appreciate that you linked up to our challenge!!
The next Chic of the Week is....


Mandy LaCroix!!

I just love the clean, fresh look of her card.  Her embellishments don't detract from that gorgeous tree on the white background.  It's just lovely!

Just Us Girls #268- Photo Inspiration Challenge

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!  Cheryl here, with this week's challenge.  I looked at hundreds of photos with holiday inspiration and settled on this one because it has so many great elements you can focus on for inspiration and creation!  I love the tan and white, the wood floor, the copper pot, the tree and ornaments, the wooden sled, the door and, did you 'note', the framed music on the wall?! Oh, my!

Here's a picture that you can click on to enlarge!
Christmas entryway with copper boiler tree stand, vintage sled, and framed vintage Christmas sheet music.


And, now for the work of our fabulous Guest Designer, Tajanna


And the awesome DT:

Chic of the Week #266

Hi all! Thanks to everyone who played along with the chalkboard effect challenge. It was really hard to choose because all of your entries were fantastic! But the one I kept coming back to was by Barbara Campbell. I loved the pine green 'chalkboard' and that seriously cute bear with present is so adorable. The pop of red with the cardinal was the perfect finishing touch!



Congratulations Barbara! Please contact me at cdring@comcast.net to get your Chic of the Week badge!
Tomorrow starts our Color Week challenge, and I know you are going to love the colors Sharyn has picked! I hope you'll join us! See you tomorrow!

Chic of the Week #265

Hi everyone!  Well you certainly made it difficult to choose a Chic of the Week this week!  There were some beautiful entries and some very creative wreaths!  In the end, I chose this rustic card by Bonnie Klass!   I thought using a pine cone image to create the wreath was very creative!  Love the bow as well.
Congratulations Bonne!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com to get your Chic of the Week badge! 
Please join us tomorrow for our Trend Challenge.  Chris has chosen a very trendy technique I know you'll love to try!  See you then!

Just Us Girls #265 - Word Week: "Wreaths"

Hello everyone!  It's Lisa here with a word challenge for you.  I chose the word "Wreaths" this week.  I figured it would be a good word since you can make any kind of wreath:  Fall or Christmas.  Have fun with your creations!



Since it's the first Saturday in November (where did the time go?), we welcome a new JUGs guest:  Tajanna!  We are very happy to have her join us in all the fun this month!

November Guest Designer; Tajanna



Every day I try to do a project. While creating one, the main inspiration for me are different challenges which I try to match. 

                 Thank you very much for inviting me for being guest designer on “Just Us Girls” blog.
 Hugs from Poland!
